Additional Notes
- The Datsun (Nissan) Bluebird 910 rear differential carries 1.1 liters of fluid in station wagon body configurations, compared to 1.0 liter in sedan and hardtop configurations, reflecting the modest but measurable difference in differential housing size across body styles.
- The 0.1-liter capacity difference between the station wagon and the sedan or hardtop body styles applies equally to both the 1600 and 1800 engine variants of the 910, meaning the differential capacity is determined by body style rather than engine displacement in these configurations.
- A check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months is specified under normal use conditions, which places routine inspection on a relatively frequent cycle relative to the full drain-and-fill interval.
- The fluid change interval under normal use is set at 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, giving the service schedule a dual trigger based on both distance and elapsed time.
- The 40,000 km change interval is four times longer than the 10,000 km check interval, indicating that multiple inspections are expected to occur between each full fluid replacement in normal operating conditions.
